Beautiful Balloons ‘latch’ fun fold card; new products in the Annual Catalog

I've sure been enjoying playing with new products from the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  The Bright & Beautiful suite is one we could pre-order early as a Demonstrator. 

Here's one of my recent projects: 

Beautiful Balloons mystery Save

I made it with my Flowerbug's Team on our monthly Zoom gathering. It was a mystery card designed by Candace. 

My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blueberry Bushel and white.

I placed the top panel on the left edge of the front card fold, adding Dimensionals to just the very left edge.  It allows the right fold to 'latch' and hold the card closed.  Below is a photo showing how the right side 'catches' under the front panel.

  • Triple Pane Bamboo Beauty with a masked moon

    Two-toned cards can be especially striking and I think this Bamboo Beauty card done in greens proves the point.  

    Bamboo Beauty olive Save

    I used just one color of ink here; Old Olive however the card base is Mossy Meadow.  I did stamp off once before stamping some of the images. I made this card in a recent FB Live video.  You can see it here.  Or scroll down to view it on my blog below. 

    I started with a 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" piece of White CS.  I placed a post-it note mask made with a 1 3/4" circle on it for the moon before sponging and stamping.  It's really quite easy to do (see in the video)!

    Afterwards I trimmed the stamped White CS into three pieces measuring 1 9/16th" wide. The tag is made with the Tailor Made Tags dies.

  • Bamboo Beauty with unique backgrounds & video tutorial

    The Bamboo Beauty stamp set caught my eye right away.  I knew it would be perfect for unique background techniques. click here to see it.

    What do you think?  I know some people aren't into bamboo or this Asian style but it's so my style!  I call this type of set a 'scene builder' which inspires me to use techniques to create unique backgrounds.  

    Bamboo Beauty blues Save

    I'm focusing on this card today.  The colors are Misty Moonlight, Black & White with a touch of purple.  I used Fresh Freesia on the upper left card and Highland Heather on the right. I used our Blending Brushes for the background, black twine from the Essentials pack and a greeting label from the Messages die.
